The SCFA JPA was created to finance, construct, and operate a regional animal shelter serving Southwest Riverside County. The shelter was completed and opened on October 4, 2010. The agreement enables the joint construction, funding, and operation of the animal shelter, while preserving each member agency’s authority over its own field services and animal control operations. The SCFA is governed by a Board of Directors, consisting of one representative from each member agency. The agreement also outlines procedures for administration, financial management, legal compliance, and staff support, reflecting the agencies’ shared commitment to sustainable and collaborative animal care services. Discussion The Fifth Amended and Restated JPA Agreement includes a change to the payment provisions. Under the amended agreement, member cities and the county are now required to submit payment in advance of each quarter, rather than after services are rendered. This change is intended to ensure that Animal Friends of the Valleys (AFV), the contracted shelter operator, receives timely funding to support ongoing operations. SCFA JPA Amendment Page 2 of 2 Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact associated with this amendment. Shelter and operational fees remain unchanged.
